Eh? Really? Oops, sorry. I thought it was legitimate black humour being used to make a valid point. Quite clever/subtle. Made me larf anyway. Very difficult to refute it's statement too. Like checkmate.Anyway, I thought it was quite a clever spoof of the Rosemary's Baby movie posters - and there was certainly something very wrong with that baby! Perhaps not as strong as the political statement made by that amusing Flash where you move the pepper-spraying cop to spray the faces of the signatories to the Constitution of the US - Pepper Spray Cop Interactive(That also made me larf.)

I was about to publish a number of my preferred puns; I had ten of them... actual zingers, too.Reading through them, I tried to keep only the best, and ones nobody had observed before.In the end, I had weeded out very much all of them.

Well, I never saw any connection between "Sod's Law" and "Sod off".British colloquialisms."The poor sods [unfortunate people] had to endure all that warfare in the trenches" <-- is Sod's Law. Something bad/unpleasant was likely to happen to you [an unfortunate person] as a result of enlisting or being conscripted into the army for WW2.

"Oh, sod it" <--a bad/unfortunate thing just happened to me. As in "Just my sodding luck." Similar to "Oh, bollocks."

"Sod off" <-- a very rude imperative to "go away". ("Sod" in this case coming from "Sodomite".) Similar in intent to "F*** off" or "Bugger off".

You don't need to paint your face with woad to use these expressions either.

'I'm going to destroy America and dig up Marilyn Monroe': British pair arrested in U.S. on terror charges over Twitter jokes

Two British tourists were barred from entering America after joking on Twitter that they were going to 'destroy America' and 'dig up Marilyn Monroe'.

Leigh Van Bryan, 26, was handcuffed and kept under armed guard in a cell with Mexican drug dealers for 12 hours after landing in Los Angeles with pal Emily Bunting.

The Department of Homeland Security flagged him as a potential threat when he posted an excited tweet to his pals about his forthcoming trip to Hollywood which read: 'Free this week, for quick gossip/prep before I go and destroy America?'

Leigh Van Bryan was due to go to Los Angeles with his friend Emily Banting but was stopped when he arrived in the U.S. over tweets he had sent

Offending tweet: Mr Bryan told security officials that 'destroy' is slang for party in the UK, but that was not enough to convince them

After making their way through passport control at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) last Monday afternoon the pair were detained by armed guards.

Despite telling officials the term 'destroy' was British slang for 'party', they were held on suspicion of planning to 'commit crimes' and had their passports confiscated.

Leigh was also quizzed about another tweet which quoted hit US comedy Family Guy which read: '3 weeks today, we're totally in LA p****** people off on Hollywood Blvd and diggin' Marilyn Monroe up!

Federal agents even searched his suitcase looking for spades and shovels, claiming Emily was planning to act as Leigh's 'look out' while he raided Marilyn's tomb.

Bwahahahahaahah~!

They checked their bags for a spade shovel~!

Here are some of the worst comments... the first one will have you pissing your pants laughing! Here it is:

These two were pretty foolish. After 9/11 we in the US take our security pretty seriously. We worked hard for our freedom and wil protect it however we can. This was why I joined the US Marines and went to fight for our freedoms in Iraq. Freedom is no lauging matter.

Seriously? Bwahahahahahahahaa~!

I am still laughing like 30 min later!

Hm, okay...thanks. But I gotta say it does rather sound like groups 1 & 2 of your examples get screwed too.
